IMPROVEMENT IN OVEN BOTTOMS AND SLIDES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 212,47 1, dated February 18, 1879; application filed December 17, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

' Be it known that I, JOSIAH JEWETT, of the city of Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Oven-Slides and Oven-Bottoms for Cooking-Stoves, of which the following is a specification:

The invention relates to slides for ovens and to oven-bottoms.

Heretofore oven bottoms have been constructed so as to fit in between the sides of a stove and to finish flush with the sides.

I intend by this invention to utilize the space created by the swell of the oven-doors, thereby increasing the area of the bot-tom of the oven.

The invention consists in the arrangement of the bottom oven-plate so as to lap and project over the sides of a stove into the recesses formed by the swell of the oven-doors; and it also consists in providing an oven-slide covering the whole of the area of the bottom ovenplate so constructed.

In the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of reference indicate like parts, Figure 1 is a perspective of a suflicient portion of a stove to illustrate my invention, showing the oven-slide in position. Fig. 2 is a perspective of the oven without the oven-slide, and showing the projection of the ovenbottom over the side of the stove. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of and showing the swell of the oven-door.

The bottom oven-plate, A, is made to project over the side B into the recesses produced by the shape of the doors, and upon this bottom oven-plate the oven-slide 0, covering the entire surface of the said plate, is made to slide, the catches D D preventing the ovenslide from tipping when drawn out, serving the purpose of a rigid shelf when handling articles in the process of baking.

The projecting portions E E of the ovenplate A may be made separate and bolted to the side of the stove; or the oven-plate A may be made as formerly, to fit in between the sides and the necessary additional surface produced by projecting the oven-slide only into the recesses formed by the swell of the ovendoors.

What I claim is- The projecting oven-plate A and oven-slide O, in combination with the swelled oven-door, as herein described and fully set forth.

JOSIAH J EWETT.
